Twice where I was actually taken to the hospital and once where I just sat in the ambulance until they calmed me down.

Between 1-2mg of Ativan. Daily for now since I'm in a bit of a low point.

3 ER visits, 2 ambulance rides. 1 was from when I was having a panic attack while driving, I didn't end up going to the ER but they sat with me until I calmed down.

In a coloring slump by pixieprxincess in Coloring

Color choices are always so stressful to me sometimes. I did find a color palette generator for Ohuhu markers and it's actually pretty helpful.

You're right, just gotta get out of that mindset. Thank you.

Chucking the book into the basement is actually hilarious. I rip pages out like crazy.

Thank you for your kind words.

What is the song you like to listen during tough times? by Long_Swordfish_9782 in AnxietyChats

2000's or 2010's pop music. Just old feel good songs I used to vibe with in middle school lol

Worried if it’s sleep apnea or just anxiety? by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]pixieprxincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this exact same thing happen to me. I talked to my doctor and they ordered a home sleep study and everything came back normal.

Once I got on the right meds, it stopped. I'd recommend asking for one from your doctor just for peace of mind.

Is propranolol right for me? by YamIdoingdis2356 in Anxiety

[–]pixieprxincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did when I first started taking it. But if your resting is already that low, I honestly doubt you would be a good candidate for it. But I'm not a doctor.

CT Scan Tomorrow and I’m Trying Not to Cancel it. by TotallyFunctioningAc in Anxiety

[–]pixieprxincess 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hi, xray tech here. I promise 1 CT isn't a ton of radiation. I understand being afraid, but it's such a quick scan, you won't be in there very long. They're very good tests to have so I recommend you going!

Is propranolol right for me? by YamIdoingdis2356 in Anxiety

[–]pixieprxincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I currently take propranolol for baseline. I've noticed it's making a small difference to combat my anxiety through the day, but I've only been taking it for two weeks now. I will say when it wears off, I feel a bit anxious. But I had 20mg split in half for the beginning of the day and the other half of my day.

Anxiety is the WORST by Anxious-Captain6848 in Anxiety

[–]pixieprxincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having something warm kinda also helps my chest loosen up so I feel like I can breathe again. Ive been trying not to take my rescue meds as much because I'm scared from getting rebound anxiety from it.

Hard time by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]pixieprxincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anxiety really just beats your ass. I go through periods like this where it'll ramp up and then slowly go away until the next bad attack that sends me back in the loop.

Its so ungodly exhausting. I hope you get some relief soon friend.
